"both/and" breaks the shackles of “either/or” in this semi-autobiographical short video play by Jamil Khoury. "both/and" explores and explodes the persistent tensions between American and Arab, Arab American and gay, for profit and not for profit, and assorted other “disputed territories.”
"both/and" was adapted from Jamil Khoury's play “WASP: White Arab Slovak Pole" which was part of a larger mainstage production, The DNA Trail: A Genealogy of Short Plays about Ancestry, Identity, and Utter Confusion.
